and more

Sooooo after our adventures at the waterpark, we came home for super. As Daddy bbq-ed and mommy was swinging on the porch swing....Julia was being very productive...making Ant Jam. yes. there was a HUGE pile up of ants busy scurrying about at the end of our walkway...and this is Julia with all the materials necessary to mash the ants. First she used the hoe...then she rode over them with her bike. She isn't cruel...just working in selfdefence...hahahaha. Although she was brave enough to stick her finger into the pile of wriggling ants before massively destroying them!!THEN....in the evening Daddy was quite tired out from sun and water and fun. Julia requested his help making a tent in the living room, but daddy declined, saying he needed to lay down for a while. AND THIS IS WHAT SHE CHOSE TO DO: not grump or whine because he wouldn't play, but instead....sit down and give her daddy a foot massage!!!!!!!!!!!! wow. i LOVE moments like these as a mother, to see the soft gentle sweet and caring spirit of my three year old. (because there are times when it disappears and i am downhearted) aaaaaw, well. time to go make breaky and get samuel to the doctor for his shots today. ik. uk. bla. haha. i am glad that we live in a country with a health system that allows us to see so many sick-free days....but it still isn't always fun to get the shots that make it that way. :)

That is so sweet...she's already thinking about others instead of her own wants. I think she has seen this quality modeled in her parents.

Very considerate girl...except, of course, when it comes Giant Julia and the screaming ant colony.:)

She is a sweet, thoughtful girl, just like her Mama! I can think of many times when I was tired and worn out and there you were, giving me a lovely back massage.
Can't wait to see you next week!!
